The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

"Zhao Xiang" spoke leisurely. After hearing "Zhao Xiang's" question, Lin Xiaoru's expression changed. Worried that Lin Qingran might notice something, she immediately added.

"Sister, I'm sorry, this is what I told Xiang'er."

"Xiang'er has always wanted to know how you've been all these years while she wasn't by your side, so I told you all of this."

Lin Qingran remained calm, looking at "Zhao Xiang's" somewhat bewildered expression, and pursed her lips slightly.

Just as she had guessed.

Zhao Xiang has emotional disorders.

Perhaps because she left the Zhao family at a young age, her understanding of family ties is relatively weak, which makes her feelings towards the Zhao family quite complicated now.

Or rather, it's rather pathological.

On one hand, she wanted to destroy everything in the Zhao family, but on the other hand, she wanted the Zhao family to survive.

Zhao Xiang grew up in the northern part of the city.

So she tried every means to return to Beicheng, just to experience the childhood she had never experienced.

She wanted to be like Zhao Xiang.

She is also quite self-serving when it comes to relationships.

From her perspective on Sheng Xia and Lin Hao, Lin Qingran felt that Zhao Xiang's views on relationships were different from others.

Lin Qingran looked at "Zhao Xiang" and saw that her gaze was fixed on her, as if she wanted an answer from her.

Her eyes were filled with longing.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and said softly.

"Some things will fade with time."

As she spoke, she looked intently at "Zhao Xiang" and said slowly.

"Gu Yihuai acted impulsively and had that thought. In the end, he took the initiative to call the other party to cancel the plan. After the incident, he also begged for my forgiveness."

"Feelings are a very complicated thing."

"But as a person, you should never do anything that you'll regret in this life."

"Deep down, you know what you really care about."

As Lin Qingran spoke, she shifted her gaze from "Zhao Xiang" and looked calmly at Lin Xiaoruo.

"You know that very well, don't you?"

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, and her expression changed slightly.

At this moment, Lin Qingran seemed to be able to see through everything and know her thoughts.

"I......"

Looking at Lin Qingran's calm demeanor, Lin Xiaoruo was suddenly speechless.

Lin Qingran glanced at her indifferently and said calmly.

“I know that you lingered in the Lin family compound for a long time after your father passed away.”

"You once sat under the big tree where your father buried treasure for us when you were a child, and stayed there for a night."

"Actually, only you know best what you were thinking at that time, right?"

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, and her expression changed.

Her hands clenched together suddenly, and she quickly stood up.

"I don't want anything, I just hate you all. He's gone, and I'm happier than anyone else. Lin Qingran, you're just like me now, someone without parents."

Her eyes quickly welled up with tears as she said these words.

Then, grabbing her handbag, she turned and left, almost fleeing from Sixiang Garden.

Lin Qingran stared at Lin Xiaoruo's back for a long time before slowly turning her gaze away.

Throughout the entire process, Zhao Xiang watched quietly.

Lin Qingran picked up the teacup on the table, her expression calm, and then said softly.

"Xiang'er, do you think she has ever regretted it? She did so many things that broke my father's heart."

"I think she must still regret it. Even if she pretends to be indifferent, the longing in her heart will still gradually take root and sprout."

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Zhao Xiang's body stiffened slightly.

She looked at Lin Qingran, took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice.

"Let's not talk about this anymore; it's too heavy a topic."

Lin Qingran nodded and said softly.

"Maybe it's because I haven't had the urge to confide in anyone for so long, but now that you're here, I just can't help it."

"Actually, there's something else I deeply regret. I regret not being able to see my second brother one last time. After all, we're blood relatives, and we're connected by blood. Over the years, I've always wanted to know how my second brother spent the last days of his life."

Zhao Xiang's expression shifted slightly as she listened to Lin Qingran's words.

Her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

Over the past few years, she has indeed had some strange ideas.

Suddenly, she wanted to see what her sister, who looked exactly like her, looked like.

She also had some regrets about not being able to see Zhao Xiang one last time.

This strange and complex emotion had been lingering around her.

She attributed it all to curiosity.

After all, there is someone in this world who looks exactly like her. She knows of her existence, but they have never met.

This is perhaps what Lin Qingran meant by blood relatives.

Zhao Xiang gritted her teeth inwardly, placed the teacup on the table, looked up at Lin Qingran, and then said softly.

"Weren't we talking about Brother Yihuai? How did we suddenly switch to these topics?"

She looked at Lin Qingran and said in a low voice.

"Qingran, I've already used my connections to help you investigate the car accident. If the accident really is related to Brother Yihuai, will you still feel the same way you do now?"

"Choose to forgive him?"

Lin Qingran listened to Zhao Xiang's words and said calmly.

"No, if it's related to him, I won't forgive him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiang looked puzzled. "But..."

Lin Qingran looked at "Zhao Xiang" and said seriously.

"But by then, I should have the answer in my heart."

She looked at "Zhao Xiang" and said softly.

"Xiang'er, before you left Beicheng, you had the best relationship with Gu Yihuai. Actually, I was worried that you would step forward and plead for Gu Yihuai."

Zhao Xiang fell silent.

Lin Qingran glanced at "Zhao Xiang" calmly, then slowly withdrew her gaze.

Throughout the entire process, Zhao Xiang appeared very confused.

But Lin Qingran knew that she wasn't really confused.

She was testing her attitude.

However, Gu Yihuai is very likely to be pushed out as a scapegoat by them.

After all, if the investigation into the car accident continues, Shen Huai will be implicated.

Shen Huai had been to Lia before, so it was easy to find the trail by following the vines.

What puzzled Lin Qingran even more now was why Shen Huai, with such a powerful organization behind him, would tell her that she had been to Lia.

Was he overconfident, or was he trying to warn her about something?
